All In The Name Of Art???

We think we know where Abortion Girl found her inspiration!

Back in 2000, Jonathan Yegge (above) was a student at the San Francisco Art Institute who did a public performance art piece that got the whole school, the local community and the entire worldwide internet talking.

Let's revisit his little "performance piece," shall we?

Yegge asked for a volunteer from his art class, got one, and then had voluntarily sign a makeshift contract stating that the volunteer was agreeing to participate in a performance piece containing acts "including and up to a sexual or violent nature."

Yegge led the volunteer out into a campus public area and then, let him explain in his words what he did.

"He was tied up. He had a blindfold and a gag, but he could see and talk through it. He had freedom of movement of his pelvis. I engaged in oral sex with him and he engaged in oral sex with me. I had given him an enema, and I had taken a shit and stuffed it in his ass. That goes on, he shits all over me, I shit in him. There was a security guard present. There was an instructor from the school present. It was videoed, and the piece was over."

College kids are so damn crazy!

Naturally, a lot of shit went down after this shit incident.

Click here for a great article discussing the after-effects of Yegge's very controversial performance piece.

Wonder what's happened to him since this all went down back in the day????

Update: Here is his MySpace page!
